Skeleton begin Skeleton with “Skeleton”.
I can’t make this shit up!
But I digress.
[Read more…]SPICE Capture Lightning In A Bottle, Create A Modern Alternative Classic On Self-Titled Debut
Sure, there will be more and have been some massive albums from some huge artists in 2020 but, looking at my current tally for favorites of the year, I truly believe that this is the year of the underdog. Like SPICE.
[Read more…]Entry Succinctly Shred On Stand Out Debut Full-Length Detriment
Short and anything but sweet, Entry’s debut full-length is an incendiary blast of Swedish Crust Punk by way of Los Angeles. Featuring a brutal performance from Sara Gregory throughout, Detriment sounds like the result if their fellow Los Angelenos in Youth Code abandoned Industrial and focused their two-pronged attack solely on the Hardcore and the Heavy.
[Read more…]Deeper Graves Dig Deep On Majestic Goth Magnum Opus Open Roads
Yearning for more artists to offer up soundtracks for the darkened clubs where wearing all black is a requirement of getting in and you can dance like no one’s watching? Then the debut from Deeper Graves is for you!
[Read more…]Inter Arma Honor The Greats With Garbers Days Revisited Covers Record
I’ve probably said this before but I’ll say it again: Cover albums are a tricky thing to master. As an artist, you want to honor those that came before while putting your own stamp while also not being too close to the original to make it all pointless while also not sounding like a parody. Make sense? Okay, then!
[Read more…]Mushroomhead Offer Up A Wonderful Life On Wonderfully Constructed Throwback Metal Masterpiece
The appeal of Mushroomhead has always eluded me. They came into prosperity and notoriety around the time that Slipknot also began to thrive and, while I wasn’t actively choosing a side, I found myself aligning with the more complex and intense of the two masked outfits. What I missed out on then (But am making up for now!) was a different kind of complex, a different kind of intense and a whole lotta missed awesome.
[Read more…]Lamb Of God Unleash Self-Titled Slab Of Monumental Heaviness With Eighth Full-Length
There’s no doubt about it: The shoes that strike the pedals behind the kit of Chris Adler’s former post are some pretty big ones to fill. Lucky for Lamb Of God (And for us, the fans), the man chosen to fill those shoes is none other than Art Cruz. In recent years, Cruz has lent his considerable talents and unique style bringing the heft and the groove to legends like Prong and Ministry and after a baptism by fire with his new brothers in Lamb Of God following a live run opening for Slayer on their Final Campaign tour, Cruz makes his recorded presence known on Lamb Of God, the quintet’s eighth full-length.
[Read more…]Singles! Like A Motorcycle, “Wide Awake”
You will not hear a more kickass Rawk song than “Wide Awake” this month. The second taste from the upcoming full-length, Dead Broke, “Wide Awake” is an anthem and a half from the Halifax quartet and a hopeful sign of what’s to come following the release of “Idols” in April.
[Read more…]The Joy Thieves Conjure Up Industrial’s Next Great Romantic Anthem With Genocide Love Song
I just can’t keep up with the amount of awesome that The Joy Thieves seemingly put out there on the regular.
[Read more…]The Sounds Return With Retro-Futuristic Rawker Things We Do For Love
Listening through the latest from The Sounds will immediately compel listeners to go back and peruse the lush catalog that the Swedish quintet has already amassed. Not for nostalgia but more for a refresher and an education on how to evolve right in this industry.
